Rick Santorum's decision to suspend his presidential campaign Tuesday effectively ended the race for the Republican nomination, giving likely nominee Mitt Romney the opportunity to repair the damage he has sustained in the primaries, rally reluctant conservatives behind his candidacy and fully shift his focus to President Barack Obama.The general-election contest already was taking shape...

Isn't it funny how some in the far, out of the mainstream right wing kept telling us that "the media" was picking their candidate, etc., and how Bachmann, Santorum, Perry, Paul, Newt (did I miss any of the flavors of the week?) really - no REALLY! - had a chance of winning the primary, much less the general, and so the big old mean "liberal media" had better just back off, etc.

Looks like Romney is their guy after all - just as most people, in the "liberal media" or not - have been saying all along.

I have no idea why someone like Santorum would run - the guy couldn't even win in his own state, for Pete's sake. What a waste of time and money. In a progressive nation, a throw-back like Santorum doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

"....... with a D+11 and Republicans only comprising 23% of the respondents in this poll, one should be seeing huge leads for Obama in the head-to-head matchups. Instead, Obama lead Romney by only eight among general-population adults........"

You are posting links to a heavily biased source to try to prove a nonexistant point. Hey, I have an idea, I want to prove a consertive talking point, so I am going to reference a far right conservative source.

Directly from the hotair website. "Hot Air is the leading conservative blog for breaking news and commentary covering the Republican primary, the 2012 election, politics, media, and culture."

I won't be told, I have a supernatural offer for you, and you can be redeemed if you believe just in me, and if you don't like it you can be tortured forever. I won't be talked to like that. That is the language of fascism and dictatorship. -Hitchens

Not so fast, dear. I shall never ever vote for a cultish brainwashed Mormon who believes he has to call his wife forth from the grave so that she may enter the celestial kingdom. I will not be supporting my homosexual marriage Mengele abortionist Democratic Party. I'm breaking for Gingrich. He's got the guts, the vision, the acumen, the experience, and the love of country to bring us through the darkness.

Ah, but the reality is that actual votes will not be undersampled by 11 points and Republicans will comprise much more than 23% of the general vote. Even Gallup notes that no sitting President has won with an approval rating of 46%, less than the 50% needed.

Now that you are done with your rant, I just wanted to point out the fact that you are now so willing to support a morally bankrupt person such as the newt.

Reality Check.

Citation needed from an unbiased source, until then, it is just your personal opinion.

What a joke. Did you actually quote John Stewart like he is someone important?

I didn't quote anyone in what I previously posted, obviously you are seeing what you want to see. They have a word for that, delusional.
